> [@Bosstone](#): > > None really do a 1:1 movement with swords, which disappoints me. They claim to be coming out with an addon that allows you to do so, but considering the control gimmick that should have been in 8 o’clock, day one. The best you can really get is shaking the remote to swing the sword, and positioning might change your stance. Not yet, but here’s a video from E3 that demonstrates a sword-fighting game in Nintendo’s upcoming **Wii Sports Resort** that makes use of a new included accessory called [WiiMotionPlus](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Remote#Wii_MotionPlus) that should deliver true 1:1 gameplay: ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/b1emrtvihg8/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/b1emrtvihg8?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque ---

Thanks for the information. I guess I’ll have to wait until next year. ---

Maybe I wasn’t doing it right – I thought I should turn sideways the same way the character was, instead of facing the screen. Are the mechanics of TWG way better than that golf mini-game that came with Wii Sports? ---

Maybe I wasn’t doing it right – I thought I should turn sideways the same way the character was, instead of facing the screen. 60 seconds isn’t much time. I found it pretty intuitive (and really fun), though it does have a quirk or two. You are indeed supposed to face sideways, just like the character (in fact, you pretty much always want to assume the mii’s pose), and hold the remote like a golf club, with the buttons facing outward. It’s really quite easy–I suggest giving it another try. ---

If they’re anything like the 360 or PC, then yes, yes, yes, yes, a thousand times, yes. 60 seconds is about right with that piece of shit [del]game[/del] demo. ---

There’s no comparision between TWG and the demo game. TWG really feels like you’re out playing a round of golf. ---

Mario Kart Wii is the best Wii game. So much fun, especially for multiplayer. You can play online, too. Boom Blox is another fun game. I’m also playing Animal Crossing right now, but that might get kind of old. Maybe it’s more fun when you’re a kid and don’t have to pay the mortgage, etc. for real.
